Subject: Fw: Why California is Broke

This list is all you need to know about California.

What a mess! And consider the fact that this probably goes on throughout the forty-nine other states. Obviously, many of these state services are needed (at least to some degree). But just think of the potential for fat clinging to the bones of each agency. Then translate this kind of thing when looking at the federal budget.

Remember. This is just California! I don’t think this is what our Founding Fathers had in mind.

Our government says that the only places they can cut expenses is Police and Fire.

It doesn't matter whether you are a Democrat, a Republican or Independent. This list is shocking. Over the years, our politicians have created this enormous pork barrel of agencies that employ over 350,000 people directly and countless more via contracts with the State. All of these people get salaries, medical coverage and pensions at our expense and almost all are unionized. Take a good, close look.
